After watching this movie, I think that Weibe deserves the title, BUT I also think the Billy Mitchell is an AMAZING gamer! One of the top of our lifetime. He's portrayed as the villian, but he is still deserves the recognition for his gaming feats. Just to put it into perspective, there probably wouldn't even be competative arcade gaming if it wasn't for Billy Mitchell.

Jon felt that the movie needed some kind of historical perspective of the actual Donkey Kong game, so the short was born.

I sure didn't do this short alone! We were under the gun for this one. We turned it around in 2 weeks--and that's all after hours work! It was a huge labor of love for everyone that worked on it at I Am 8bit Studios:

Here's my animatic, just be warned, the whole thing is rough and on yellow post-its.

Every short starts with what is called a color script. This is a way to keep and overview of the whole film's color. It's a way to plan out the intensity and relationships of all the colors in all the scenes in order. Color is SUPER imporant. It basically dictates the emotions in the film--all following the story that is.

Gabe...I don't know if you'll remember me or not, but I had to take a shot. Carrie Miller. Ring any bells? If it does shoot me an email I would LOVE to catch up, I think it's been about 10 years!cmills520@yahoo.com

Gotta agree on Donkey Kong's design; Nintendo should really revert him back to his old look. I love how you draw the characters; Kong is so full of glee and joy and I can't get over the short stumpy Mario. Your design sense is a true inspiration mate. =D
